Preheat the over to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line enough muffin tins with paper liners to make 14 cupcake size cakes. Whip the cake flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl and set aside. Cream the butter for 2 minutes on high speed, then beat in the sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing to incorporated after each addition. Mix in the vanilla. Mix in flour mixture gradually until just combined. Scoop the batter into the cupcake compartments, filling them 2/3 full.

Bake the cakes for 18-22 minutes, rotating the pans 180 degrees after 9 or 10 minutes, until the tops are lightly browned. Removed from the over and let cool completely on a cooling rack. Unwrap the cupcakes from their liners. Poke each cake all over with a fork and place each in a 4-ounce jar.

Stir together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and half-and-half. Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of the milk mixture slowly over each cake. Cover the jars and store them in a refrigerator overnight.

Before serving, make the topping: Whit together the cream, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe over the cakes and top with a maraschino cherry or strawberry.

Enjoy!
